N.Bruce Gateman started his farm just 2 km south of his dad's farm, and today it boasts 3 generations actively farming the land.
The farm is a mixed cattle and grain farm, growing beef and grains to feed the world.
It is often said on the farm, "We make steak and beer what is your super power?"
Bruce had 2 children: one daughter and one son (Glen).
Glen Gateman got a degree in Ag Science from the U of A and returned home in 1994 with the intent of continuing in the farming tradition.
He and Jodie (Thornhill) GATEMAN were married in 1996 and welcomed 4 children into the world between 1997 and 2015; three boys and one daughter (deceased).
